Wilderness Awaits

American author Edward Abbey once said, “Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread”, but then wilderness may seem but a distant dream while ensconced in the densely urbanised Manila. However, salvation is nigh with Makati-based tour group Beyond Outdoor Adventures – they’ll whisk you out of there in a jiffy and have you biking, jumping and bumping over the various lush terrains of the Philippine countryside, leaving your apartment, desk and metropolis cares tens of figurative and literal miles away.

All you will need to embark on a day-long cycling tour is a comfy pair of trainers and a bottle of sunblock, BOA will do the rest including scooping you up from your hotel in a jeep, providing snacks, beverages, bikes ready-levelled to your height, and of course, a savvy cycling guide. The gentle Nuvali family tour takes bikers around the lake and includes a fish-feeding boat ride; La Mesa single track and the Licao-Licao tours are more suitable for adults and veteran cyclists; and lastly, the Wawa Dam tour includes a spot of seasonal bird-spotting. Round off your adventure with a meal of salty-savory beef tapsilog, and sticky suman latik at one of BOA’s chosen rural spots, like Marc’s View Deck. What better way to cap off your day in the wild?
